Dodgers beat Rockies 5-3 but Colorado avoids another shutout in 4th straight loss
LOS ANGELES — – Mookie Betts hit a two-run homer, Shohei Ohtani also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Colorado 5-3 on Monday night, sending the major league-worst Rockies to their fourth straight loss.
The Rockies have dropped six of seven, but they scored for the first time since last Thursday on Kyle Farmer’s RBI double in the sixth. They were outscored 16-0 in three losses to San Diego last weekend and have just three wins so far while losing nine of 10 on the road.
Dustin May (1-1) got his first victory since May 6, 2023, allowing one run and three hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked none. Tanner Scott pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
Betts’ fourth homer of the season made it 2-0 in the first. Ohtani hit his fifth homer leading off the fifth, a 408-foot shot to center field. Will Smith had an RBI single in the fifth, and his bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the sixth made it 5-1.
Colorado closed to 5-3 in the seventh on Hunter Goodman’s two-run homer off Anthony Banda.
Antonio Senzatela (0-3) gave up four runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Key stat
The top of the Dodgers’ lineup carried the offense. Ohtani, Betts, Freddie Freeman and Smith were a combined 9 for 17 with five runs, five RBI and one walk. The Dodgers had just three strikeouts.
Key moment
Dodgers reliever Kirby Yates put the potential tying and go-ahead runs on base with two outs in the eighth on a double by Farmer and a walk to Ryan McMahon. Yates induced a groundout to first by Michael Toglia that Freeman briefly bobbled before ending the inning. Scott had runners at the corners in the ninth before getting the final two outs.
Up next
Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner (0-0, 2.81 ERA) starts against Dodgers RHP Landon Knack (1-0, 10.38) on Jackie Robinson Day around the majors Tuesday.

DENVER – The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today the team has signed defenseman Brett Kulak to a five-year contract extension through the 2030-31 season.
Kulak, 32, was originally acquired by the Avalanche in a trade with Pittsburgh on Feb. 24, 2026 and tallied three points (0g/3a) in 27 regular-season showings for Colorado over 19:08 of average time on ice per game. His 2025-26 regular season consisted of playing for the Edmonton Oilers and Penguins in addition to the Avalanche where he totaled 12 points (1g/11a) in 83 contests. Kulak was the only NHLer to skate in 83 games last season. Additionally, he dressed in his 600th career NHL contest on Nov. 15 at Carolina and notched his 100th career assist on Dec. 30 vs. Carolina.
The 6-foot-1, 192-pound defenseman was in the lineup for all 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games for the Avalanche in 2026 and chipped in five points (1g/4a) and logged 20:38 of time on ice per game. The goal was his first with the Burgundy and Blue, regular season or postseason, and it came as the overtime-winner in Game 5 of the Second Round (May 13) to send the Avalanche to the Western Conference Final. It was the third time a defenseman scored a series clinching overtime goal in Avalanche/Nordiques history and the first since Sandis Ozolinsh (Game 6 of the 1996 Conference Semifinal) did it 30 years to the date prior to Kulak’s. Additionally, Kulak’s marker was the 10th time an Avalanche/Nordiques skater sent the team to the next round with an overtime tally and the first instance since Artturi Lehkonen in Game 4 of the 2022 Western Conference Final (June 6, 2022).
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Kulak has registered 137 points (29g/108a) in 663 career regular-season games with Colorado, Pittsburgh, Edmonton, the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames from 2014-26. The last 370 of those games have come consecutively and he enters 2026-27 with the ninth-longest active “Iron Man” streak in the NHL. The left-shot defenseman has also added 29 points (4g/25a) over 111 career Stanley Cup Playoff contests and has been a member of three teams that have made it to the Stanley Cup Final (2023-24 and 2024-25 Oilers, 2020-21 Canadiens). Kulak’s 111 playoff games lead all NHL defensemen since making his postseason debut in 2020 and are second among all skaters in that span behind only Corey Perry (126).
Originally drafted by the Flames in the fourth round (105th overall) in the 2012 NHL Draft, Kulak appeared in 136 AHL games over parts of the 2012-19 campaigns (13g/41a). He was also a member of the then-ECHL Colorado Eagles for part of 2014-15. Prior to turning pro, Kulak played for the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants from 2010-14 and amassed 128 points (35g/93a) in 216 regular-season contests.

Kids escape unscathed after van slips off Colorado mountain road and down Blue River embankment
A van carrying campers from a hike near Blue River rolled down an embankment Thursday afternoon, but everyone inside escaped without major injuries. According to the Keystone Science School, the 15-passenger van was transporting 13 campers and two adults back from Mohawk Lakes when it slid off a wet road and rolled over.
Emergency crews responded to Spruce Creek Road after receiving reports of a single-vehicle rollover.
“We’re fortunate that it was low speed, and there was no intrusion into the passenger cabin,” Matt Benedict, division chief of wildfire and community preparedness for Red, White and Blue Fire said.
Investigators believe muddy conditions created by recent rainfall contributed to the crash. The van rolled down a steep embankment before coming to rest against a tree. Two people suffered minor injuries, but neither required transportation to a hospital, according to fire officials.
Keystone Science School confirmed emergency responders arrived quickly and that no major injuries were reported.
“The safety and well-being of our campers and staff is our highest priority,” Executive Director Eric Rightor said in a statement. “We are grateful that there were no major injuries, and we are committed to fully supporting all those involved and their families.”
Fire officials also credited seatbelt use for helping protect those inside the vehicle. “We always encourage everyone to wear their seatbelts… and they did. And everybody left,” Benedict said.
The Keystone Science School is located in Summit County.
